The Knights have released Beau Scott from the final two years of his contract on compassionate grounds. The rep forward – who’s currently sidelined with an ankle injury – will link with the Eels next season.

Kangaroos back-rower Beau Scott will be released from the final two years of his contract with the Newcastle Knights, on compassionate grounds. It means he’s free to officially sign a three year deal with Parramatta. He joined the Knights in 2013, after a move from St George, and has been one of the club’s most consistent players. “We wish Beau the very best for his future, both personally and professionally, and look forward to him returning to the field and leading our team throughout the remainder of this season,” CEO Matt Gidley said. The 30-year-old, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, said it was a difficult decision, but one he made for his family. “Our family situation changed significantly following our move to Newcastle,” Scott said. “For this reason alone we have decided it is in the best …

Knights coach Rick Stone has been forced into several changes following Saturday’s loss to the Dragons. Korbin Sims returns from suspension and will play alongside his brother Tariq, while Chris Houston moves to the second row to cover for the injured Beau Scott.

It’s set to be another trying week for the Titans on and off the field. Bosses will again meet with Stadiums Queensland to figure out if the club’s home games can be played at C-BUS stadium. It follows reports Good Friday’s Broncos clash was almost held in Sydney. “I had no idea. So that’s certainly a matter for the club to work out. We need to win football games no matter where we play.” “Really for us it’s about learning how to win. You need to be able to grind out wins during the year.
